THsSvlem Weekly Democrat, aged

Thomas E. Watson, the populist pol

.The United States mail service seems
to be conducted with the prime object of
making money for the railroads. It is
stated that at the rates they are paid a
man of 200 pounds with bis baggage
would cost $55.39 freight charges from
New York to Buffalo, whereas th'e first
clasB passonger fare on the finest and
fastest coaches is only $3.
Thb German Emperor endeavors to
follow the "rules of life" laid down by
his favorite physician, as follows : "Eat
ruit for breakfast. Eat fruit for lunch.
Avoid pastry and hot cakes. Only take
potatoes once a day. Don't drink tea or
coffee. Walk four miles every day, wet
or fine. Take a bath every day. Wash
the face every night in warm water.
. Bleep eight hours every night". The
lager beer the Kaiser drinks doesn't
count.
On each recarring Fourth of July, the Republic is dedicated anew to LI berty.
The history of civilization ii the history of liberty. When we eompare the
privileges enjoyed by a well-to-do intelligent citizen of the United States with the
privations to which the Indians were subject thst occupied this continent before
- ..J . . . M I ' At
us, we cannot for a moment harbor the illusion tbat HDeriy is pessmie in me bt-
see state. Man only achieves liberty as he conquers tne torces oi nature, maning
them his servants. Empirical science and subdual of his innate savagery are his
liberators. ' '. - s ., S
Civilization is possible only when man lives in a social condition, and his jullest
measure of liberty is attained when every member of a civilized society has the
same and equal privileges to develop all his faculties and to enjoy all the oppor
tunities afforded by his environment. He has an absolute right to tbem, lor ine
whole human family are children of the same' great mother. V. - ' . J ., i-1 1
But man-made laws have subverted the God-given rights expressed in the
Golden Rule. The world over, through special privilege, often secured through cor
ruption, conferred on the few, the liberty of the maspes has been curtailed. We
of today are not called upon to draw the sword in defend of our liberties, but,
nevertheless, we are compelled in other ways to fight for them. Wartare against
the common people is now conducted by the barons not from the battlements of tur
retted caetles or in shining sword-proof mail on picturesque battle fields, but be
hind closed doors in the palatial, towering office-buildings of the great cities,
where the Morgan's and the Rockefeller's and the Big Four and Jim Hill plot
against our liberties. They compel us to divide our earnings with them, but we
are powerless to compel them to divide with us. It is a jug-bandied division to
them the turkev, to us the buzzard.
Railroad discrimination, arbitrarily raising the price of food stuffs, interfering
in elections by the use of money, selling to the foreigners the necessaries and con
veniences of our complex modern life cheaper than they do to us, and many othei
similar iniquities our self-appointed masters are guilty of, are infringements of
our liberties. The work of the state a"d national conventions of the grange and
the labor organizations consists, in the main, of combatting, or devising measures
to combat, the tyrannies of the almost all-powertul lords of the almighty dollar.
Were our liberties not assailed by them, were competition in buying and selling
as fair and free as competition in acts of mercy and friendship the meetings of
these bodies would be veritable love feasts, replete with oratory and music and
lectureB on science, art and philosophy.
The organize 1 armies of the men and women who perform the world's drudg
ery must fight fight the savagery in the men of power, which we, it is but too
true, find lurking in our own bosoms This militant task requires years years of
patient effort which often seems utterly wasted , for ,t meana an uplifting of the vast
unwieldy, sluggish human mass to a higher plane, to that sunny, joyful level
where not the least of our brothers or sisters, white, yellow or black, shall be de.
prived of one iota of his Cod-given rights.
As long as some are forced to eat the bread of poverty, while othei a, at their
expense, gorge on the fatted calf, liberty is offended and justice does not receive
her own. As long as mammon,' and not divine humanity, is the object oi our
homage, freedom is eclipsed, but mark, punishment is inflicted on the children of
men by the Eternal for their iniquities, for they, either as individuals or as a na
tion, cannot escape the results.
Tibertv is a school, for it is only in freedom that man learns to be free. Some
one has well said : "We shall have to go the whole length of liberty or finally
have no liberty at all. Liberty cannot be put under bonds to keep the peace
without liberty beine lost and peace unattained. There is nothing under the sun
that can be trusted in the name of liberty. The lesson of a higher civilization
must be learned in liberty. The men of toil must achieve their own liberty, if it
is ever achieved. Liberty cannot be handed down by a superior class to an infe
rior class. Man is not free until he has won and established his freedom in ex
perience and in the power of his own manhood."
That is the philosophy of liberty. When we have become really free, the
self-seeking which now mars our souls and ruins our lives, will have been supplant
ed bv the enthusiasm of liberty, the love of justice for its own sake. When that
day comes mankind will have evolved a higher moral nature. It will be the mil
lennium. '
Not many weeks ago, a noted American, one of the bravest, most patriotic
and most honest men that ever lived, yet, for bis fearlessness, hated and vituper
ated from one end of the country to the other, closed his last address to a great
audience with theBe words: "Wrong may seem to triumph; right may seem to be
defeated, but the gravitation of eternal justice is upward toward the throne of
God. Any political institution, if it is to endure, must be plumb with that line
of justice."
Then this hero, this martyr to liberty, fell to the platform, and with one word
of recollection to his wife, his spirit departed.

At present a Back of sugar we g::i rg
300 poundB costs the Cuban planter $6
to produce, lie sella it in Havana for
$4.80 and loses $1.20 on every sack.
These are the figures given by Governor
General Wood, than whom there can be
no beUer authority. The reduction of
20 per cent in the duty, agreed to by the
republican majority in the house, will
amount to $1 and a fraction of a cent
over on every sack of 300 pounds. If
that entire reduction reaches the pocket
of the planter he will then get $5.80 for
his sack of euijar 20 cents less than it
oosts to produce it.
According to the figures given by the
department of agriculture, there wero in
1890 30,819,024 head of cattle In the
United States "other than milch cows."
In 1900 that number had decreased to
27,610,054, a Iocs, in round numbers, of
9,240,000 head. Sheep decreased in that
decade by almost 3,000,000; awine by al
most 6,000,000, the only gain in the list
being a few hundred thousand milch
cows. Meantime the number of con
sumers in our own country lias grown
from 02,001,000 In 1890 to approximately
75,000,000 at this time and our exports
f meat vastly have Increased, while the
live Btock situation has in no wise im
proved. The partL-nlar curse of modem pjlit cs
as engineered by the republican party is
tiia leirielstion of special privileges. It
is a singular fact that the first impulse
of a foreigner transferring his residence
to the United States ia to become a dem
ocrat. From his reading of the Declara
tion of Independence and the constitu
tion he becomes impressed with the
fidelity of the cardinal principles of the
democratic party to the intendments of
those emit writings. But after a little
expeiience with American life under re
publicau rule, after Boeing how the gov
eminent is actually conducted for classes
and special interests, how money and
syndicated avarice control legislation,
and that individualism is ever sacrificed
0 trusts and monopolies, he becomes af
fected with the falsa notion that his best
jhance to survive is "join the gang" and
iet a aliare of the loot. The curse of
specialism is the gospel of graft and the
olnuchof that gispel ii the republican
p;u'y. Ex.

Chicago German Woman's Club. She
has the following to say of Peruna, the
great catarrh remedy, which relieved
her of a serious case of catarrh of the
bladder :
Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "I was cured of a very
severe case of bladder trouble which
the doctors did not know how to reach.
I had severe headache and dragging
pains with It, but before the second
bottle was used I felt much relieved, and
after having used the fifth bottle life
looked different to me. This was nearly
a year ago, and I have had no recurrence
of the trouble. I cannot praise Peruna
too highly." MRS. C. L. BYRON.
